Huge (mega huge) thanks goes out to our newest board member – Jack Hamm – for putting his expertise to work and building this site for us. Jack is going to be continually working on the site and making it even better as time goes on.

On October 4th a group of 45 amazing volunteers joined up with the Access Fund Conservation Team and the Santa Clara County Parks Department to take on some very needed work at Summit Rock – sport climbing crag in the South Bay.

– Over 200 yards of new trails were re-built and re-cut
– Decommissioned social trails that were causing erosion
– Over 300 pounds of trash and glass were removed
– Clearing of downed trees around climbing/belay areas

Make sure to get some climbing in at Summit Rock, the routes are excellent – it is open seasonally (late September through January) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
